Episode notes
In our episode this week, we cross back over the Sea of Galilee and read from Luke 8:40-56. Within this passage we read of two different miraculous encounters. First, the healing of the bleeding woman, and second, the raising of Jairus’ daughter from the dead. Together we discuss the implications of the way we choose to live our lives. When our life is oriented to Jesus in every way, we confess our desperation for Jesus to all those around us. The only hope that we have in finding restoration and resurrection is through dependence on and desperation for Christ alone.
